registration and fees - calgary transit eligibility

Process

Calgary Transit "youth" passes must be purchased by the student or parent from a local vendor (i.e., Safeway, Macs, Co-op, 7-11, Transit kiosks, Transit office, etc.). For a complete list of vendors, click here.

To receive a Calgary Transit Bus Pass Rebate from the Calgary Board of Education, parents/students must complete a Calgary Transit Bus Pass Rebate Form T-40 each year. The form is available online or from your child's school. Complete only one form per family.

  1. Attach to the rebate form a void personalized cheque or deposit slip which is imprinted with your name and the account routing number to indicate the account to which the rebates are to be credited, OR, have the information in the direct deposit portion of the form completed by your financial institution.

  2. The rebate form must be completed annually. Bank account information IS REQUIRED EVEN IF a rebate was received in the previous school year and there have not been any changes to the bank account.

  3. Students are required to show the school their expired bus pass or submit the cash register receipt during the first two or three school days of the month following. They must print their name, home phone number and school name legibly on the back. Students wishing to claim the Federal Tax Credit can submit to the school a photocopy of the front and back of the transit pass or the receipt indicating the purchase if they choose.

  4. Any student who is approved for a waiver of the cost of the pass will be issued their CT pass each month by Transportation Services. The September passes will be mailed directly to the school and each month thereafter, the passes will be sent to the schools for pickup four (4) days prior to the end of each month. A separate list of these students will accompany the passes.

  5. Terms, conditions and deadlines for submission of Transit Bus Passes for rebate appear on the back of the Calgary Transit Bus Pass Rebate form.

Grades 7 to 9

The Calgary Transit Bus Pass Rebate will be provided for eligible students in Grades 7 - 9 at select schools or programs at the discretion of the CBE. Parents are also entitled to claim the Federal Tax Credit for the net cost (total cost less the rebate portion of a Calgary Transit youth bus pass).
